Renowned South Korean actor Hyun Bin, beloved by fans worldwide, has offered a rare and heartwarming glimpse into his personal life as a father. The star, known for his iconic role in the global hit drama Crash Landing on You, recently appeared on a variety show where he spoke candidly about the joys of parenting his young son.
A Glimpse into Hyun Bin's Life as a Dad
During his appearance on the show 'Fairy Jae Hyung', Hyun Bin opened up about his family life with his wife, actress Son Ye Jin, and their three-year-old boy. The conversation turned to his son, and the actor even shared an adorable photo of the toddler, which left the host in awe of the child's looks. Hyun Bin described himself humbly, stating, "I'm just an ordinary dad."
He explained his parenting approach, noting that his son's young age makes strictness pointless. "He probably wouldn't understand even if I were strict right now. He's too adorable," the actor said with affection. He also mentioned that his son had just celebrated his third birthday a few days before the recording.
Future Worries and Present Joys
The host, praising the child's handsome features, joked that such good looks might become a source of worry for Hyun Bin in the future. The actor, known for his role in Secret Garden, responded with a father's pragmatic yet calm perspective. "As he grows older, those worries will gradually come up. But I'd rather not start worrying about them now," he said, choosing to focus on the present happiness his son brings.
The Love Story Behind the Family
Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, one of South Korea's most celebrated power couples, first sparked dating rumors in 2020 while filming the sensational series Crash Landing on You. Their on-screen romance blossomed into a real-life love story. After dating for years, the couple tied the knot and later welcomed their first child, a son, in 2022.
Their professional collaboration dates back to 2017 with the film The Negotiation, though they shared minimal scenes. Recently, the couple made history at the prestigious Blue Dragon Awards by becoming the first actor couple to both win awards at the ceremony. During his acceptance speech for the Best Actor award, Hyun Bin movingly thanked his family, saying, "My wife Ye-jin, whose very presence gives me strength, and our son—I love you both so much and am grateful."
This revelation on the variety show paints a picture of Hyun Bin not just as a top-tier Hallyu star, but as a devoted husband and a doting father who is thoroughly enjoying the simple, extraordinary moments of family life.
